Bee swarm consciousness, also known as bee swarm thinking, or insect swarm consciousness.

This kind of consciousness is a collective thinking, and is often seen in various science fictions of Blue Star.

All living things with swarm consciousness are group lives.

In this group, each independent individual has his own thinking consciousness, but their thinking consciousness is not independent, and sometimes even imperfect.

Above them, there is a stronger consciousness that controls them, like a king.

And this supreme thinking that controls all independent individual thinking consciousness is the swarm consciousness.

In many science fiction works about Zergs on Blue Star, Zergs that devour everything are considered to be a kind of bee-swarm thinking life, and their supreme thinking is their insect mother.

When Eve checked the crypt spiders' corpses, they also discovered some similar characteristics.

Unlike other independent creatures, these crypt spiders do not have complete souls, and their souls are all unformed. Strictly speaking, they cannot independently support the normal operation of a living body.

This shows that above them, there is also another stronger consciousness or soul that controls them.

And when these crypt spiders entered the Kingdom of Eve, all their connections with the outside world were completely cut off.

Their own incomplete souls cannot survive normally.

So... after struggling for a while, their souls naturally collapsed and died.

Not only that, while these crypt spiders were struggling, Eve could even vaguely feel that there seemed to be an unknown existence in the distant place trying to send some kind of thinking signal to reconnect them...

And the direction of the signal source is located at Rivendell!

However, it is obvious that the other party cannot break through the obstacles of the Kingdom of God and ultimately fail.

"So... there is indeed a more powerful existence or individual behind these crypt spiders. The consciousness I felt in the end is probably it, a bit like the Zerg Mother King!"

Eve's heart moved.

At this time, He also understood why the black dragon Myriel was unwilling to help the player deal with the crypt spider.

This thief's colored "Silver Dragon" must know the secret of the crypt spider.

It probably already knew that the giant spider in the middle of the silver was just a minion. Behind them, there was an existence that even the little black dragon was unwilling to provoke!

It seems that Meirre is not stupid either.

"Spider Mother?"

Eve developed a little interest.

If it was really what He analyzed, the insect mother who controlled so many crypt spiders would probably be absolutely not weak...

At least... there must be a golden rank!

Eve fell into deep thought.

But then again, how did these crypt spiders come to His Kingdom of God?

Well... By the way, He just accepted the players' request for sacrifice.

Offer...sacrificial request.

Eve:...

He vaguely guessed what might be.

Thinking of this, Eve absorbed all the remaining vitality in the bodies of these crypt spiders, then sank into consciousness, found the player who had just prayed and requested, and threw himself into the other party's vision...

Soon, He saw the picture in the eyes of the player's gourd.

Rivendell, the entrance to the Underworld.

The deep underground world cave has become empty at this moment, and you can vaguely see the underground scenery deeper, and there is no more crypt spider...

Four players were surrounding a huge sacrifice array not far from the cave, looking excited.

"Damn it! The big lunch box is really successful!"

"Oh my God! I sacrificed a big guy and added more than a hundred minions. The system actually gave us 1,000 contribution points!"

"Hahahaha... I really sacrificed the boss, hahahaha... So I can still play like this!"

"It's amazing. In the future, I'll sacrifice them if I can't beat the bosses!"

"Hahahaha, the goddess sister's sacrifice array is really omnipotent!"

"Low-key...low-key...this is our trump card in the future!"

"Hahaha! If we can't stand any wild monster in the future, we will sacrifice it to the goddess!"

"Don't be too happy too early! Maybe not all living things can be sacrificed."

"Hahaha, anyway... the monster we can't beat must have good things on it, and with good things, the sacrifice array must be swallowed. What are you worried about?"

"Hiss... It seems that it makes sense when you say this!"

The players discussed excitedly, as if they had discovered a new world.

And the nightingale hiding beside her was stunned:

"It actually... the sacrifice was successful..."

"Wait... Someone was killed by a spider! Aren't you sad?"

She was a little messy.

"Miss Nightingale, don't worry, we will be resurrected. That dead guy is probably in the Selected City now. If you don't believe it, look, is his body still there?"

"Hahaha, you will see him when you return to the city later!"

Other players laughed.

nightingale:……

She was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction of the formation, and found that the corpse of the elf warrior was indeed gone, with only a piece of blood...

"It actually disappeared."

She murmured in shock.

"Wait... he won't be sacrificed too, right?"

The elf girl's face suddenly turned pale.

"Hahaha! No, the sacrifice array does not eat players. Someone has tried it before."

Other players replied.

nightingale:……

But soon, she had doubts on her face and murmured:

"Those spiders who were sacrificed... are really the best fertilizer? Does the mother god need fertilizer as well?"

Eve:...

What the hell is fertilizer?

What strange knowledge have the players transmitted?

He looked confused.

However, when he saw the huge sacrifice array on the ground, Eve also confirmed his guess.

It was indeed the players who sacrificed it!

He was a little amused and crying.

God knows that Eve was originally just to let believers sacrifice the magic circle of God's blood crystals to Him, but the players would actually be played like this.

They actually sacrificed the monster they were going to beat!

Should players be said to be a group of creatures that are used to finding game bugs?

From the beginning of the scraps and junk, to the moment when it is directly sacrificed to the monster boss...

Wait... They won't sacrifice living things every day from now on, right?

He imagined the scene of a group of living creatures being thrown into his own Kingdom of God every day by players, and then running around in the Kingdom of God...

Eve:...

No, this loophole must be blocked.

Although the creatures sacrificed to the Kingdom of God are controlled by Eve, and He can even take away all the vitality of the sacrifice, the risk is too great.

Because once this opening is opened, players will probably not stop.

I'm afraid that when they encounter difficult enemies in the future, they will find ways to sacrifice the other party...

If the sacrifice was successful, it would be fine, and Eve would accept it with a smile.

But if the sacrifice fails and the sacrifice array is exposed to the enemy, and the enemy happens to be Eve's hostile force, then His existence will be completely exposed...

The sacrifice array acts on the true god's body, and as a world tree, Eve's sacrifice array has his own patterns, which can be seen by anyone who knows it.

Moreover... this kind of operation is not conducive to the growth of players, nor is it conducive to their image among believers.
